Went to the San Diego Car Museum today. (Among other places around SD). Here are a few pictures from that trip:

Here are a couple Youtube videos on the "Louie Matter 47 Caddy that drove across US non-stop and also from Alaska to Mexico City non-stop. Pretty amazing what that guy did:

Wow - never knew there was such an interesting car museum there.

Please have them send the 1960 Alfa Sprint Speciale to Connecticut for further testing. Man I love cars like that. But for heaven's sake - among all the other devices, even an ironing board in that non-stop cross country Cadillac? Good grief ...

Thanks for sharing the photos. (PS - "Dan Diego?")

The host in the you tube videos is one strange individual. Bizarre doesn't seem to bother him.

My favorites are the "antenna- shower" and the wet bar!

Those are some really bizarre videos. I love the car though, I think the wet bar in the front seat and the hookah pipe were my favorite driving amenities.

I like how he could change a tire without stopping!

That was amazing. I also really liked the systems to change the fluids and grease it while running.
